In latest news from Uttarakhand, the Governor Lt Gen (Retd) Gurmit Singh has accepted the resignation of the State’s Finance and Parliamentary Affairs minister Premchand Aggarwal. Prior to this, pilloried for his anti-hill diatribe made in the Assembly on the opening day of the Budget session, the embattled minister had submitted his resignation letter to the chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami at the latter’s official residence. The CM had thereafter sent the quit letter to the Governor as per the constitutional provisions.
And finally, gubernatorial acceptance has brought an end to the lingering anti-Aggarwal campaign demanding his ouster.
